Meteora Tour

We will start the excursion early in the morning ,you will have the oportunity to visit the famous monasteries. This tour to Meteora offers the unique experience of nature’s grandeur in conjunction with history, architecture From the early Christian times, the Meteora vertical cliffs were regarded as the perfect place to achieve absolute isolation, to discover peace and harmony and, thus, to support man’s eternalstruggle for spiritual elevation.

Meteora is a truly inspiring and sensational setting of overwhelming rock formations, but one must also be prepared to expect that this trip is much more than merely visiting an exquisite landscape. In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settled on these ‘columns of the sky’ from the 11th century onwards.

These monasteries were built, despite incredible difficulties, at the time of the great revival of the eremetic ideal in the 15th century. Their 16th-century frescoes mark a key stage in the development of post-Byzantine painting. Meteora is included on the Unesco WorldHeritage List.

You will have time to visit the monasteries and take amazing photos because the view is imposing, unique and breathtaking . You will have time for lunch and then we will travel back to Athens having seen one of the most imposing parts all over the world.
